Hi folks,

Setting up DNSSEC for a parent domain is relatively simple. The fiddly bit is probably where you have to figure out what your KSK is so that you can give it to your ISP. They can then create a DS record to verify a DNSKEY record in your domain and so complete the chain of trust. Check it out:

  http://dnsviz.net/d/dapadam.nl/dnssec/

But what about doing this for your own child domains? My site runs Bind 9.8.4 on Debian wheezy. I thought that I would only have to copy the dsset-* file from the child domain's host to the host for the parent domain. There I added a line to the parent domain's zone file, "$INCLUDE dsset-zuid.dapadam.nl." and then signed the parent zone. It seemed simple enough, but there are problems, so I guess I'm missing something. I've got three examples:

1.)  http://dnssec-debugger.verisignlabs.com/zuid.dapadam.nl

This says "RRSIG=55893 and DNSKEY=55893 does not verify the DS RRset (RSA Verification failed) / The DS RRset was not signed by any keys in the chain-of-trust" and "DS=0/SHA1 is published, but a corresponding DNSKEY is not / None of the 3 DNSKEY records could be validated by any of the 2 DS records"

2.)  http://dnsviz.net/d/zuid.dapadam.nl/dnssec/

This shows two DS records in the parent zone, one not secure and one bogus, and three DNSKEY records in the child zone, none of which are secure.

3.)  http://www.dnssecmonitor.org/

Fill in "zuid.dapadam.nl" and it will also say that things are not right ("CHAIN CRITICAL: ... signature crypto failed from 127.0.0.1 for DS zuid.dapadam.nl. while building chain of trust").

On the other hand, I've used dig to request the DS and DNSKEY records involved:

  ~# dig +dnssec -t DS noord.dapadam.nl
or
  ~# dig +dnssec -t DNSKEY noord.dapadam.nl

The responses to these commands seem okay, but perhaps this is not the best way to verify whether or not I have a problem.

So, what's going on here? Do I have a problem? If so, what have I possibly done wrong and/or what might I missing?

Thanks,

Jaap
